Woman brings rifle to work, creates a scare

Submitted by KATU.com Staff on Thu, 2010-02-04 10:58

CLACKAMAS, Ore. - A woman who brought a rifle to work to show a co-worker created quite a scene.

Police responded in force Thursday morning at 10155 S.E. Sunnyside Road after getting information that someone there had a gun.

Numerous units from the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office and from neighboring agencies responded. Police said the urgency of the call prompted the response.

But after about 20 minutes, they figured out what was really going on and that there was no actual threat of a possible shooter in the building.

Police then wrapped up the incident and all units returned to their districts.

Thief ruins couple's honeymoon

Submitted by KATU.com Staff on Tue, 2010-02-02 14:01

CARVER, Ore. - A thief made off with a couple's most important possessions, just hours after the two had gotten married.

Wesley Tennyson and Hnin Tennyson of Oklahoma were married on New Year's Eve and decided to honeymoon in Oregon.

They were at the Carver boat ramp at 14888 S. Springwater Road the next day and someone smashed out their car window and stole their bags. Inside were their credit cards and documents proving that the couple was legally able to be in the United States. Hnin is formerly a resident of Myanmar.

Security cameras caught the suspect as he used the credit cards at a Target store and Starbucks at Clackamas Promenade, located at 9000 S.E. Sunnyside Road.

The suspect was described as an older white man who may be driving an older, dark-colored panel van.

If you have information, call the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office confidential tip line at (503) 723-4949. Reference case number 10-033.

The school district does want to hear from you on how budget cuts should be handled. To offer your input, head to the North Clackamas Schools Web site.
